I’m willing to be called Scrooge, Luddite, &c here, and here I go:
> 2. No Dedicated Cameras and Camcorders
I’m almost 40. I (finally) own a smart-phone. I also own a good digital camera. I tested smartphone cameras for “a leading tech company in Mountain View” for several years.
I’m fully aware of the saying, “The best camera you have is the one you have with you”.
One day I saw a coworker pointing to my digital camera and saying “That type of camera is obsolete”. I didn’t feel good about that, and I have no regrets owning it and still using it with no issues for quality or availability. When I go out for pictures, I bring my camera; when I don’t, I accept I have to accept smartphone quality.
> 7. He Won’t Go to the Movies
I love movies (and television). I watch at home and out.
I go out to the movies for the experience and to get out of the living space. No regrets. I'm an introvert.
> 8. He Won’t Use a Mouse
I cannot stand using a trackpad or the “mouse button” [there are more crude words for it, think the red thing on ThinkPads].
It is a mouse for me for life because it’s actually useable.
> 10. He Won’t Use a Remote Control
Does a bluetooth mouse count as “remote control” for my computer dedicated for watching movies and television 6 feet away?
> 14. He’ll Never Use a Fax Machine
If only some businesses or government I need to deal with was the same.
